  3. Alligator Bogaloo is an album by #jazz #saxophonist #LouDonaldson recorded for the #BlueNote label in 1967 and featuring Donaldson with #MelvinLastie, #LonnieSmith, #GeorgeBenson, and #LeoMorris (later to be better known as Idris Muhammad). The success of the title track surprised Donaldson: "[W]e made the date and we were three minutes short. I said we don't have no more material. And the guy said just play anything for three minutes so we can fill out the time. So I just made the riff.

  4. On 6 May 2024, we lost a dear friend of ASMAC, Bill Holman at the age of 96. Willis was often in attendance at luncheons, teaching masterclasses, referenced by inspiration and arrangements performed by others, and a genuine friend and nice fellow—a gentleman—to all who had the honor of meeting him.

    Read the current tribute to Bill on the ASMAC.org website.
